Today is the last working day of 2023, and tomorrow is going to be a holiday and welcome the New Year, and every time I feel happy at this time, and Liverpool fans this morning must be more refreshed, because Liverpool's "top two-day experience card" that was supposed to expire was automatically renewed.
Early this morning, Arsenal lost 2-0 at home to West Ham in the 19th round of the Premier League, sending Liverpool to become the halfway champions of the Premier League this season.
I saw a fan leave a message: "Why don't you give the ball to Odegaard and go straight to a three-point kill?"."Laughing!
West Ham's first goal of the game, Bowen's cross from the limit of the ball was about to go off the baseline, and VAR confirmed that the goal was valid, causing controversy.
Look at this cartoon, the VAR referee turned out to be Klopp!
There are some interesting things on the football field, Liverpool have failed to win Manchester United and Arsenal at home for two consecutive home games, but West Ham, who were swept by Liverpool 1-5, have beaten Manchester United and Arsenal in a row.
Since winning the Premier League title in 2020, Liverpool have never been the Premier League leaders halfway through the league or later, without more games.
In the 2023 calendar year, Liverpool has completed a shocking comeback. On January 3, Liverpool lost 1-3 to Brentford in the first game of 2023, ranking sixth in the league, and did not win for the first time in the Premier League until February 13, scoring three goals and conceding nine goals in four games during that time;But at the end of 2023, Liverpool sit at the top of the Premier League, conceding the fewest 15 goals in the Premier League this season.
It's not easy!
Reaching the top of the table, of course, there are reasons why Manchester City and Arsenal have dropped a lot of points, but it is more important to see the difficulties faced by Liverpool this season.
The starting point of the team's rebuilding was 22 points from the top of the table last season, plus the departure of the captain and vice-captain and main midfielder. This Liverpool team is inevitably "full of problems" because of its own reconstruction, but "to add insult to injury", they have been troubled and ill-fated in terms of referee decisions this season. I don't believe in conspiracy theories, and I hope they can be the motivation for Liverpool to get more and more courageous.
Of course, there is still half a way to the league, a hundred miles and half ninety. Despite the renewal, this is still only Liverpool's top experience card. We all know that Manchester City is not far behind, and sooner or later Manchester City will hit an unprecedented four-game winning streak in the Premier League with a wave of devastating and unstoppable consecutive wins.
How easy is it to beat Pep Guardiola's team in the league?In the entire history of football, only three teams have done it, and Liverpool is one of them.
Manchester City are indeed strong!They have top managers, players, management and operation teams, they can call the wind and rain in the transfer market, and a lottery ticket costs 20 or 30 million, and what is even more invincible is that they also have the best and most expensive barrister in the world, who can stop such an unbeatable team?
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
At this time, a stunned young man who didn't know the height of the sky stood up and said, "I want to try!."”
His name is Liverpool!
